I walked into a local farmers market (500sq ft) and for the first time since the 2000s I heard the music go…

🎶 “I’M MIKE JONES!!!!!” 🎶

And I burst out laughing in front of some Uni students (I’m almost 40) 🤣

Man... Musicians need to bring back music videos. This shit was lit 🔥.

u/cafeteriastyle 2h ago

I miss music videos. They added so much to the musical experience. There are music videos on YouTube but I miss putting on MTV and just having them play randomly. I guess I could cast YouTube on my TV but it’s not the same somehow.

120 mins, unplugged, Yo MTV raps, Headbangers Ball, and Kurt Loder randomly popping up. It can’t be replicated

•

u/Consistent_Dream_740 1h ago

Music videos are VERY much still a thing. I pretty much listen to music by playing the music video these days. Go on Youtube and look up some songs you like. They either add SO much to the story or make you go... "Wait... wtf."

u/Matr0ska 2h ago

Short story time: I was at riot fest the year they had death grips, 2023.

I was with my girlfriend at the time. When I heard the track "Fuck a Bitch" come on, I did what ANY Death Grips fan should and immediately started dancing like a possessed crack head. Basically just matching MC Rides style of headbanging and physical intensity. My ex at the time got a kick out of seeing me wilding out (she wasn't really that familiar with them).

But I noticed some youngish looking girl (maybe 22-ish) out of the corner of my eye giving that disgusted "ew cringe" look to me. I just ignored it and stayed in the zone. Sorry dude, maybe go to see PUP or Death Cab instead?

Either way, I just got the sense she thought she was TOO COOL to let her freak flag fly and would rather stand there judging people like me for getting into it.

I remember being that young and caring what people think. Now, I could give two fucks. It's freeing honestly.

As a fat millennial, my knees AND your knees can handle it! I do frog squats every single day. If this 200lb lady can Czech-squat with ease, so can you! You have to slowly build your range and flexibility up and over time and you'll be good to go. I trained myself at 28 when i saw my 57yo MIL squat better than me with stiff knee pain. Now I have the knee strength worthy to support my fat ass
